A new campaign launched by the Royal College of Nursing aims to show the reality of nursing, and to explore the reasons behind failures in care.
The UK-wide promotion features ads on buses, and a website to show what a nurse's working day is like.
It comes after a series of devastating accounts of lapses in basic care.
The Patients Association says the bulk of calls to its helpline relate to poor nursing care - and that the solution is to boost numbers of support staff.
The campaign features a film - first shown at the RCN's Congress earlier this year - which depicts nurses administering drips, clearing up vomit and being shouted at by patients.
